动态治疗对持续时间结果影响的工具变量估计

Instrumental variable estimation of dynamic treatment effects on a duration outcome

摘要:

本文考虑识别和估计时间Z的因果关系,直到一个受试者接受治疗的生存结果T的影响。治疗未随机分配,T通过随机变量C随机右删失,至治疗时间Z通过min(T,C)右删失。内禀问题是用一个工具变量来解释Z和独立的模型的误差项。我们在一个完全非参数的框架中研究识别。我们表明,我们的规格生成一个积分方程,其中的回归函数的利益是一个解决方案。我们提供了依赖于这个识别方程的识别条件。为了估计的目的,我们假设回归函数遵循参数模型。我们提出了一个估计过程,并给出了条件下,估计是渐近正态的。在模拟中的估计表现出良好的有限样本性质。我们的方法被应用于寻找证据支持疗效的治疗烧伤。

英文摘要:

This paper considers identification and estimation of the causal effect of the time Z until a subject is treated on a survival outcome T. The treatment is not randomly assigned, T is randomly right censored by a random variable C and the time to treatment Z is right censored by min(T,C). The endogeneity issue is treated using an instrumental variable explaining Z and independent of the error term of the model. We study identification in a fully nonparametric framework. We show that our specification generates an integral equation, of which the regression function of interest is a solution. We provide identification conditions that rely on this identification equation. For estimation purposes, we assume that the regression function follows a parametric model. We propose an estimation procedure and give conditions under which the estimator is asymptotically normal. The estimators exhibit good finite sample properties in simulations. Our methodology is applied to find evidence supporting the efficacy of a therapy for burn-out.
